Cascade Brewing Sour Fruit Fest 2016

Sour Fest 2016

Beckie and I at Sour Fest 2016

Beckie and I checked out Cascade Brewing’s Sour Fruit Fest 2016. Ā Since I’m not drinking for Lent, (and I’m not a huge fan of sour beers) Beckie did all the drinking. Ā She was kind enough to share her thoughts on the beers she tried.

Melon Melange (2013) – Sour wheat ale with over 30 pounds of Tuscan, Casaba and Santa Claus melons. Ā Beckie said this was really sweet.

Pineapple Wheat (2014) – Wheat and blonde ale mix, aged in white wine barrels with pineapple. Ā Beckie said it didn’t not have a strong pineapple flavor (it was faint) but a good amount of sour.

Nectarine Dream – Live Barrel – sour blond and quad ales aged in oak wine barrels with fresh nectarines. Ā This was the first time Cascade has used nectarines in their beer. Ā Beckie said this beer was subtle, doesn’t hit your right off the bat as a sour beer.

Honeycot (2014) – Blond ales wine barrel aged with apricots and wildflower honey. Ā Beckie said this beer wasn’t sour at all, but still good.

Gin Gimlet (2014) – Blond ale wine barrel aged with lime peel and juniper berries. Ā No actual gin! Ā All Beckie said about this beer was it’s not as good as the Honeycot. Ā And then she pointed out after drinking all these beers, the Ginger Lime (which we didn’t have that day) was still her favorite. Ā It’s my favorite too at Cascade Brewing.

Ever been to Cascade Brewing? Ā What was your favorite beer? Ā Like sour beers? Ā What is your favorite sour beer?

About BiteSize

Hi! I’m Jenna, but I got the nickname BiteSize in high school. I love homebrewing beer, thus BiteSize Brews. A blog focused on homebrewing, local brewery reviews and recipes. I’m lucky enough to live in the microbrewery capital of the world. I’m also a big fan of social media (chances are I’ll sprinkle a bit of it into this blog).
